Isothermal Sphere Buried in Semi-Infinite Medium Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Conduction Shape Factor = (2*pi*Diameter of Sphere)/(1-((0.25*Diameter of Sphere)/Distance from Surface to Centre of Object))
S = (2*pi*D_s)/(1-((0.25*D_s)/d_s))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Conduction Shape Factor - (Measured in Meter) - Conduction shape factor is defined as the value used to determine the heat transfer rate for the configurations which are very complex and require high calculation time.
Diameter of Sphere - (Measured in Meter) - The Diameter of Sphere is considered in the falling sphere resistance method.
Distance from Surface to Centre of Object - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from surface to centre of object is the distance between the surface and the center of the object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Diameter of Sphere: 4.446327 Meter --> 4.446327 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance from Surface to Centre of Object: 494.8008429 Meter --> 494.8008429 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = (2*pi*D_s)/(1-((0.25*D_s)/d_s)) --> (2*pi*4.446327)/(1-((0.25*4.446327)/494.8008429))

Evaluating ... ...

S = 27.9999991349914

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

27.9999991349914 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

27.9999991349914 ≈ 28 Meter <-- Conduction Shape Factor
